Can I drink white wine with red meat?

[puttopal]

Do I have to stick with red wine - red meat, or can I mix it up? Are their certain types of meat that go well with lighter wines?

pork goes well with white wine....

The red wine rule only goes for heavier meats like steak or lamb.<br />
Spicy meat dishes, like Indian and Hunan entrees, are best accompanied by white wine or beer. Pork, "the other white meat", can be accompanied by white wine. Chicken and turkey go well with less heavy reds like pinot noir. Because duck is very rich, it can hold up next to a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot.<br />
<br />
When dining out, I ask my server for recommended wine pairings with the menu items. Some restaurants list the suggested accompaniments for you. Take note of the pairings you like so you can serve them yourself at home.

Why don't you ask that in the white wine discussion ... but anyways if you dont eat red meat steak but if you eat red meat escalpoe it does fit!
But i would rather drink it to fish or chicken

Last week I received a coupla white wines from Bottlenotes.The buttery oak flavored Chardonnay-Sauvignon Blanc paired really well with red meat.

Of course you can! I would try a Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio; both of them compliment your red meat dish very well.

yes you can, but stick with full bodied whites, like oaked chardonnay (think California, Australia). I read this on www.pocketsommelier.blogspot.com, interesting stuff.

i dont think you will be having any problem in taking white wine with red meat.......but pork is a better option.........

Of course you can. If you're not much into the after taste, then go ahead. But if you are one of those who want to taste every possible flavor, characteristic, texture in their food and wine, then red wine will always go better with red meat. It will give the meat more flavor and vice versa.

Cheers!

No because that sparkling stuff is no more than a wine cooler, it isnt real wine. For cooking you need the real deal...
